Herby Cauliflower Steaks

#plantnom – recipes for the plant curious

Ok so a steak that is a vegetable does sound a bit strange but
it actually works ! This lovely herby marinade packs a punch on the flavour
front too. Serve as a side dish or a main on a bed of quinoa or rice

What you need :

Large
cauliflower

Olive
oil

Marinade
:

1
shallot

3
cloves of garlic

½
red chilli – finely chopped

Handful
of fresh chopped parsley

Handful
of fresh chopped coriander

125ml
olive oil

4
tsp dried oregano

4
tbsp apple cider vinegar

Juice
of a lemon

Salt
and pepper

What to do :

Heat
oven to 180 degrees / gas mark 4

Blitz
all the marinade ingredients in a food processor to a rough paste

Slice
the cauliflower lengthways into 1cm slices. – if cauliflower large should
easily get 2 good steaks but maybe 3 to 4 depending on size save the rest for another meal.

In
a frying pan heat the olive oil and gently brown the cauliflower 1 min each side.

Transfer
to a baking sheet and spoon the marinade over the steaks on each side, cook for
25mins turning half way.
